Q: What did you think of the just-finished Winter '04 series deadlock at 5 games apiece? VOTING RESULTS: | 34% | Stellar competition as the teams were well matched! |  | 24% | The 5-5 outcome was misleading since games were lopsided on different nights. |  | 21% | Not bad but subs and chemistry always affect the outcome anyways. |  | 14% | The series sucked but so did my play, so I can't complain. |  | 6% | A chimp coulda picked those teams but whatever... |  | Editors' Note: Yep, always lots of variables involved in any series matchup.
